Hi Guys

We had a gig this afternoon first one with the Micro and I must say I was well pleased. I was or in fact I did, record the whole Gig on my zoom and would you believe it at the end some fool switched of the mains before I had a chance to save the file.

As a consolation I came home and recorded this number originally by Gordon Lightfoot called Sundowner.

Hope you like it to my old ears the Micro sound pretty good in partcular the bass.

When I get a bit more time I will post some more examples.

For the benefit of Scott I am using a Shure WH20 and a Harmony M.

Hi Col,
I clicked on the link and signed into Box.net,
but it says something to the effect that the file is no longer accessible or that it's been deleted.
I'm really looking forward to hearing it, esp with the Harmony M & your Shure mic as well.

Perhaps we can IM/voice on Skype.
I've sent you a SZ PM (Private Message).

Let me know. Thanks.

Scott

Colin,

You forgot to make the file public, therefore only those with a password and user name can access the file.

Hi Col,

that sounded pretty good and I immediately recognised the style from my PA50 days. In actual fact it is the same one that I used on Wedding Day, if you listen carefully..........

Did you play all that on the Micro itself or are you using other keys ?

Hi John

I just used the Micro I don't find the keys to be any problem ,in fact, this is going to raise some comments I think its easier to play than my Pa2x. I think the Pa may be on its way. Save me having another Hernia operation.


The style is Light Rock 2

BTW nice job on the Wedding Day

Col:

Happy Birthday in advance.

Cool little demo. Nice laid back vocal style.

Exactly how did you connect up your mic & Harmony M to the Korg microArranger?
Did you utilize an external mixer or in-line volume booster too,
or simply plug your Shure WH20 into the Harmony M and then
the Harmony M audio outs into the 'fixed level' stereo line-in 1/8" mini jack on your microArranger?
Do you feel the Harmony M provides sufficient volume gain adjustment to enable further increasing the
vocal volume/ vs auto accomp and/or live playing heard thru the microArranger?

btw: I sent you a Synthzone 'Private Message' but it still says you haven't picked it up.

Hi Scott

I have replied to your message.

The set up is as follows:

Mixer Alesis mutimix 8

Mic Shure wh20

Harmony M

MicroArranger

The mic is plugged into Mic input one on the mixer
a feed using auxilary output B (Post Fader) TRS lead to the mic input on the Harmony M. The trim pots are at 3 oclock.

The output from the Harmony M is plugged into a stereo input on the mixer.

The MicroArranger is plugged into a second stereo input on the mixer

These are the images on Boxnet (better luck this time)

Hope this helps.

The other advantage is my oppo (Guitar) plugs his mic into input 2 thus enabling both of us to use the Harmony M. The only thing is I can,t sing harmony if he is singing lead and vice-versa it confuses the harmonizer. So we rely on the harmonizer for all our harmonies.

Kind Regards

Nice job on the Lightfoot tune...pretty accurate style too.

I met Gord several times over the years...super guy and awesome writer. Red Shea was his guitar player for many years, a big part of Lightfoot's signature sound is credited to him.

A lot of people don't know that Gord studied jazz composition and orchestration for two years at Hollywood's Westlake College of Music in California.

Thanks for the great demo, Saswick.

Ian

Colin super job!!...sounds fantastic great tune... !!
I'm glad to hear you had a successful gig with the KMA ....
seems that people are EASILY using it on gigs and having fun playing music & that is what it's all about...Good Job mate!

Just as a curious addition, the last time I saw Lightfoot perform live(before his stomach illness), the pedal steel guitar parts were played by the keyboard player, using a first generation Yamaha DX-7.

When I talked with him, Mike Heffernan, after the show, he told me he based the "steel" sound on an electric piano patch, and that his DX-7 had been modified with a Grey Matter Response E! chip. This allowed bending of notes within the chord.

Man, did it sound like the real deal.

How does the pedal steel sound in the microArranger?

Ian

Hi Colin,
sounds great.

And getting in early, happy 70th for 13th Feb.

Thanks a lot Rikki nice to make four score and ten

Col
